In mid-November, senior leaders from World Trade Center Greater Philadelphia traveled to Winnipeg to strengthen their partnership with World Trade Centre Winnipeg and explore new opportunities for collaboration. The visit marked an important step in deepening ties between the two regions, particularly as momentum builds toward the 2026 WTCA Global Business Forum, to be held in Philadelphia.

Over two days of meetings, site visits, and roundtable discussions, business, industry, and government leaders from both regions came together to exchange perspectives, identify shared priorities, and highlight complementary strengths across key sectors including manufacturing, agriculture, life sciences, logistics, and technology. These conversations reinforced a shared vision for long-term trade collaboration and meaningful follow-through for businesses on both sides of the border.
